SEAL Pups

I completely understand that some parents find these types of activities to be shocking or extreme, but I prefer to think of them as exceptional. And don’t we want to raise exceptional kids?

Purpose:

To build confidence using SEAL-esque missions and training that translate into real-life skills, both in the field and in life.

SEAL Pups takes the best of Special Forces, firefighting, rescue, and law enforcement to inspire high levels of confidence and functionality in our kids. We want to teach leadership, teamwork, grit and self reliance while developing the practical skills of surviving and thriving.

A “jack of all trades” best describes a SEAL, and similarly, we want our kids to become an expert at becoming an expert, so they can see everything from a position of strength, which makes their vantage point uncommon and valuable.

We maintain a focus on the sea for the very same reason Navy SEALs do. It’s the most dynamic and dangerous place on the planet.

The sea is unique because it's a place you can plop a 10 year old next to a 55 year old and produce the same experience. The ocean meets anyone where they are and has an amazing ability to take them a step further than they thought they could have gone.

Kids Under Water Confidence

National Geographic: Sniper Story

Tying my daughters’ hands and feet together may not make them trailblazers that upend the world as they know it, but it’s just one of the ways I can help them learn to tackle real-life problem solving and critical thinking—skills that any child needs to survive, or adult for that matter, no matter what life may...

We've been slowly getting our SEAL Pup program off the ground. A new approach to teaching leadership and confidence, while developing the practical skills of survival. Survival in the marketplace as well as in or on the Sea - Air - Land (SEAL.) Confidence comes from learning to do things you could not do before. High levels of confidence, (swagger,) comes from learning to...
